Alkhidmat Foundation Khyber Pakhtunkhwa performed free cataract surgeries on 84 underprivileged patients in collaboration with the Bahraini charity Daar Ibn As-Sabeel, the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) reported.
According to APP, free eye camps were held at Alkhidmat Hospital Charsadda and Alkhidmat Mishal Hospital Mardan for patients suffering from cataracts and other severe vision problems.
Patients who attended the camps also received additional support, APP said, though the report did not specify the exact nature of the further assistance provided.
The initiative reflects a broader pattern of charitable healthcare provision in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where organisations such as Alkhidmat Foundation regularly partner with international donors to offer free treatment to residents who might otherwise be unable to afford surgery for conditions like cataracts.
APP's report did not indicate whether further eye camps are planned in the region, or how many patients in total have benefited from similar Alkhidmat Foundation initiatives in recent months.
